Miss Margaret Kern of Luzerne and Albert F. Mecklenburg of Blairstown, were quietly married, Friday evening, Dec. 27, at eight o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Dr. W. L. Ewing in the St. Paul's Methodist parsonage of Cedar Rapids.
The couple was attended by the bride's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Back, and by the groom's brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mecklenburg of Blairstown. Mr. and Mrs. Murray Eckert of Cedar Rapids also witnessed the wedding. The bride's sister, Mrs. Wm. Back, was matron of honor. The groom's brother, Wm. Mecklenburg, acted as best man.
The bride wore a gown of black silk flat crepe and her attendant wore navy blue georgette. Both the groom and best man were attired in dark suits.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kern, farmers living near Luzerne. She graduated from the Blairstown High School with the class of 1923. She then completed a course at the Iowa State Teacher's college at Cedar Falls. For the last three years she has taught in the Luzerne public school.
